Get Started with ABA Therapy
We strive to make sure our process for ABA therapy in Houston TX area is as convenient and flexible for families as possible, from your child’s initial interview to their final session
Home, Center, and Community Services
Kore Autism Services provides center-based ABA therapy at our Bellaire clinic, as well as home and community-based services throughout the Houston area. Each treatment plan is individualized to the unique needs of the child and family, with programming designed to build meaningful skills across the environments where children live, learn, and play. Flexible scheduling options are available to support each family’s needs.
Our Process
We understand that getting started with services can feel overwhelming. Our team is here to guide and support your family through each step of the process, from initial inquiry to the start of therapy services.
Phase 1:
Getting Started
Gather Information
Our team will collect some basic demographic and insurance information to learn more about your child and their unique strengths and support needs.
Verify Benefits
We will complete a thorough review of your insurance benefits and discuss any potential out-of-pocket costs with you before services begin.
Submit Documentation
We’ll help you gather the documentation needed to move forward with insurance approval and treatment planning, such as:
- Diagnostic evaluation
- Referral or prescription for ABA services
- Insurance information
Phase 2:
Assessment & Planning
Attend Caregiver Orientation
Kore offers a complimentary Caregiver Orientation prior to onboarding with services. This meeting is designed to help families feel informed and supported before services begin and includes:
- An overview of ABA therapy
- What the enrollment process looks like
- Examples of treatment planning and goals
- What to expect during services at Kore

Receive Assessment Authorization
Our team will request approval from your insurance company for an initial assessment. Once approved, a clinician will contact you to schedule an in-person assessment with you and your child.
Complete Assessment & Treatment Planning
A BCBA will meet with you and your child to assess current strengths, skills, and areas of need. Based on the assessment, the BCBA will develop individualized treatment recommendations, including:
- Recommended service hours
- Location of services
- Personalized treatment goals
Families will have the opportunity to review and discuss recommendations before services begin. A BCBA student may also be present during the appointment to provide additional support.
